Grand Moot 2006

(L-R): Justices Armstrong, Epstein, Abella, and Dean Mayo Moran

On Sept. 28, 2006 the annual Grand Moot was held in the newly-named Rosalie Silberman Abella Moot Court Room.

This year's team of highly accomplished student mooters included third-year students Rachel Kent, James Renihan, Chris Graham and Kim Haviv (president of SLS). A distinguished bench comprised of justices Rosalie Abella (Supreme Court of Canada), Robert Armstrong (Court of Appeal for Ontario) and Gloria Epstein (Ontario Superior Court of Justice) graced the stage and charmed a packed audience of students and faculty. Justice Abella praised the mooters for the quality of their arguments. While the court reserved decision, she added that the "future of our profession is in excellent hands" and that "again the University of Toronto law school has demonstrated why it is the greatest."

In 2006, for the first time, the Grand Moot was broadcast over the web.
